Would fans travel to Saudi for CFB?

Obviously there are multiple sports being bought out by the Saudis. There’s private equity looking at the Big Ten. Who knows if the saudis are involved with one of the entities vying for a share.
Say they are, and like Golf and the World Cup/Olympics/WWE they start to go in on CFB. How long until we have CFB games and championships in Riyad?
Would fans actually go? I assume yes. Given they went to the World Cup and appear to go to the other events. I assume enough college football fans would go?
I personally would be disgusted. I know thats easy to say now. And I know most probably don’t care. But I think if this comes to pass like it has elsewhere, that will be the last straw and I’ll just walk away from this whole thing. I definitely feel more apathetic to CFB with all the changes. I’m just a traditionalist and all of this change just kills my enjoyment somehow. But I really could not stomach Saudi having control over the SEC or LSU or really anything else. I just could not get over that.

I’m basically at the breaking point of caring at all about college football as are many people I know who were all former rabid fans.
I guarantee you not a single one of us would care about the sport if they’re playing in fricking SA
If you take away the crowds and the stadium atmospheres, you really just have shittier football.

Na, I like a drink on occasion.

Fans from large fanbases barely travel to places like Orlando or San Diego for bowl games

I've spent a little bit of time there and don't hate the place. Some very nice people there.
But frick no.

No. Tailgating would not be comfortable & most likely illegal the way we do it.

Wisconsin drunks traveling to Saudi Arabia would be interesting

Saudis need to go away. I’m ready for nuclear fusion to come online. Send them back into the Stone Age

LSU fans taking over Saudi Arabia. Nothing would go right.

I went to Camp Ur in Southern Iraq in late 2007 or early 2008…that timeframe. This was an Iraqi base. AMB Crocker was having a big meeting with PM Malaki and other Iraqi dipshit ministers.
Ran into a Contractor there named Bill wearing an LSU hat. Got a photo of us buried somewhere in my emails.
LSU fans are world-wide.

Not true

Would the area be segregated by sex?
Would cheerleaders just stay home?
Would the flashier cheerleaders tone it down or learn to fly?
Would the air conditioning be humid and cool enough inside their domed stadium?
Would woke die its last death and female team owners just step away for enough money?
